Mystery packages of seeds may contain GMOs – Danish ministry
Details
Are the packages the latest example of illegal dissemination of GMOs and "approval by contamination"?
The Danish ministry of agriculture has announced that "signs of GMOs" have been revealed in mysterious packages of seeds sent to citizens in the mail, apparently from China. If the presence of GMOs is confirmed, this development is just the latest in a long line of illegal disseminations of GMOs by advocates.
We first received reports in August 2020 that citizens and farmers in Denmark had received unsolicited packages of seeds. Then an article for Fortune magazine revealed that US citizens had also received them. The US Dept of Agriculture (USDA) warned recipients not to plant the seeds, due to concerns that they could introduce damaging pests and diseases. The USDA identified some of the varieties as seemingly harmless herbs: rosemary, sage, mint and hibiscus.
